About us

Dwight’s Canvas was founded in 1979, by the same family that runs the business today! Since day one, our guiding principles—quality, innovation, and personal service—have run through everything we do.

Our present Upper Hutt site has been home for over 40 years. At the very beginning our canvas workshop produced a small range of products, contract manufactured for a number of large local companies such as GM Holden etc and repaired or crafted replacement products for a whole range of canvas and outdoor products.

As times have changed our business has evolved and expanded into new categories over the years. We are now well known for Alu-Lite canopies, Awnings and Outdoor Blinds. We cater to commercial and residential markets as well as kindergartens and pre-schools etc. Rest assured the same high standard of service and craftsmanship remain true.

Our Upper Hutt workshop is one of the largest canvas workshops in the lower North Island.  We have a range of equipment capable of cutting and fabricating a wide variety of materials and we take great pride in the standard of our workmanship.
